I'm looking for studies that have found placebo or nocebo responses involving weight loss or weight gain.
The question I'm trying to get at is: is there any evidence that if a patient expects a placebo to cause weight gain or weight loss that it will actually have this effect?
I've tried searching PubMed and haven't turned up anything that specifically examined this question, but my search may be missing studies that had incidental findings on this.
I appreciate any suggestions.
best,
Christie
